Words In The Shadow

She said, 'I am wrong to want something more, it's true. The hours go by very quietly just so. You are there. I never takes my eyes off you. In your eyes I see your thoughts as they come and go. To watch you is a joy I have not yet got through. No doubt it is still very charming of its kind! I watch, for I know everything that annoys you. So that nothing comes knocking when you're not inclined. I make myself so small in my corner near you. You are my great lion, I am your little dove. I listen to your leaves, the peacful froufrou. Sometimes I pick up your pen when it falls off. Without a doubt I have you. Surely I see you. Thinking is a wine on which the dreamers are drunk. I know. But sometimes I'd like to be dreamed of too. When you are like that, in your books, all evening, sunk. No lifting your head or saying a word to me, There is a shadow deep down in my loving heart. For me to see you whole, it is necessary To look at me a little, sometimes, on your part.'
